No surprise. Muslims have been destroying ancient artifacts from the very beginning. They cannot abide any kind of images, and they cannot abide evidence of any other history but their own.

Societal decency within Islam is like pigs reading Shakespeare.

Muslims are here to destroy civilization. That’s why they’ve never been able to create one worth living in. They are offended by the accomplishments of others.

Why are people outraged by this but not the thousands of people they have killed including children?
Priorities are screwed up.

Maybe you haven't been following along. There has been a lot of outrage about these atrocities. You think everybody's just upset about the artifacts?

If Muslim history is destroyed as collateral when we attack them, I’ll be celebrating. All of the Muslim architecture in Israel will probably need to be destroyed if Israel wishes to win the favor of the LORD.

That would be the secondary reason. The primary reason is to eliminate any competition.

In a lecture delivered on 12 September 2006, Pope Benedict XVI quoted from a dialogue believed to have occurred in 1391 between Manuel II and a Persian scholar and recorded in a book by Manuel II (Dialogue 7 of Twenty-six Dialogues with a Persian) in which the Emperor stated: “Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” Many Muslims were offended by what was perceived as a denigration of Muhammad, and many reacted violently. For others it may simply have been false indignation or the assumption of offence by non-Muslims. In his book, Manuel II then continues, saying, “God is not pleased by blood – and not acting reasonably is contrary to God’s nature. Faith is born of the soul, not the body. Whoever would lead someone to faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason properly, without violence and threats... To convince a reasonable soul, one does not need a strong arm, or weapons of any kind, or any other means of threatening a person with death...”

I'm talking about outrage among people like us. Obama won't get a coalition on the destruction of artifacts either.
